WHERE WE STAND.
The Situation Not an Encouraging
One.

The Situation Not an Encouraging
The Carson Union says: The General
Appropriation bill for the support OF the
State Government for the two years just
entered upon amounts in the aggre-
gate to nearly 1920. 900. The figures are,
according to a hurried summing up, SAT-
$50, or at a rate OF S203, GIG Sc per annum,
or Sl6,968 per month. This is exclusive
of the S55, 900 already appropriated for the
expenses of the present session of the
Legislature.
The late decision OF the Supreme Court
annulling the attempted reduction of sal
aries of the various State officers restores
the old schedule and hence swells the
general appropriations to q greater
amount than was anticipated. 1t will be
useless for the present Legislature to at
sempt to reduce the salaries for the reason
that in most instances it cannot be done
during the four years term just COM
menced. Therefore the State, in this re-
spect, stands just about where it did
when railroad statesmanship took charge
Of the State Government. except that the
State is vastly less able than ever before to
stand the burdens placed upon it. II is
in the line Of such s~tatemsnship that we
find an item appropriating So, 1000 for the
publication lin the Carson AppeaD Of
amendments to the Constitution. The
situation is indeed an encouraging one.
